Jordan Dotson

Jordan “RatDragon” Dotson is a 4th generation Seattleite and has been gaming since his grandparents spoiled him with an NES. Since then, he’s drifted across systems and genres, but he still blames John Romero for his penchant for first person shooters. Outside of gaming, he makes a never-ending stream of dad jokes, tends to his beard, attempts to be a foodie, watches terrible movies, and tries to keep his cats from stealing his stuff. He became involved in Game Raven by being their weird neighbor who kept showing up to their bonfires.
